Richard and Linda Thompson's Shoot Out the Lights

In the fall of 1980 Richard and Linda Thompson (of Fairport Convention fame) had recently been dumped from their record label and were on the verge of divorce. Somehow they overcame these miserable circumstances and managed to make an album considered by many to be a masterpiece. Shoot Out The Lights puts the album-from the personal history driving the songs, to the recording difficulties they encountered and the subsequent fall-out-in context. This is a brilliant, emotional book about a brilliant, emotional album.I yelled to see if anyone was hurt, but there were no cars in the parking lot but
mine, no lights, and for damn sure no voice to respond. I thought I ... I turn on my
stereo and cue up the title track. The sound of the guitar is a jolt of jittery
adrenaline.
